850W Question

[LorelynF]

Hi. Good day. Just wanted to ask if 850W is sufficient enough for RTX 4080 and Intel i7 13700K?

 

Thank you

It is in a pinch but 1000w has much more headroom for overclocking and such

Which 850W? With a good one that should do just fine. With a bad one you're likely to run into issues.

It's this one - DeepCool 850W https://www.deepcool.com/products/PowerSupplyUnits/powersupplyunits/DQ850M-V3L-850W-80-PLUS-Gold-Full-Modular-Power-Supply/2022/15897.shtml

 

I currently have DeepCool DQ750W on my i7 7700K and GTX 1080Ti, so far I haven't experienced any issues since I don't usually overclock my system, I'm happy with their stock performance.

 

Having said that, I am not going to heavily overclock my 13700K and RTX 4080 since I mainly do Video and Graphics work and.

 

Just wanted to know if 850W is good enough for, let's say - stock speed of the GPU and CPU.

 

Thank you.

It's not the best PSU that ever existed. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either, and with that level of components I'd really want a top tier unit. You might as well try it, the PSU has enough protections in place to prevent anything from being damaged, it's just that if you do run into issues it would be the first thing I'd replace.

Noted on that. Thank you. My previous PSU on my 7th gen build was Seasonic Prime 850W, it died after 7 months - I am not sure if I received a lemon unit or not but I replaced it with DeepCool and up until now it's still working.

Yeah, it sounds like that seasonic unit was a lemon.
